In the first episode of our special Environmental Awareness Month series we talk to Andrea Vanderhoff, Director of Technology and Sustainability at Qore, about how they’re using corn as a sustainable alternative to petroleum in making all kinds of fabric products, from jackets, jeans and everything in between.
Qore is the Joint Venture between Cargill and HELM and the parent company to Quira, a bio-based 1,4-butanediol (BDO) made from renewable feedstocks that reduces CO2 emissions compared to materials made using fossil-fuel based BDO.
